the forty he had promised he would. The year before that, he joined a health club. He exercised every day and ate less food. After three months however be began making excuses about why he couldn’t go there more often. As the health club failed to work, he joined Weight Watchers but stopped going because he was the only man there. And he hates following any of the diet programs. John’s latest action is to join a walking club to "walk off" the weight. |
